Service was excellent! We didn't call ahead so we only got basic service but we will in the future. They explained that due to so many dietary restrictions they require reservations for full service. The owner who greeted us, definitely knows her stuff, and the only hiccup was that she expected us to know ours too. If you are not a tea professional that may be a little off putting. The buttermilk scones were amazing and all three of us really enjoyed it. We are already making plans for the next trip!

I took my children for tea at A Southern Cup. My daughter is having a birthday tea party there, and wanted to sample the menu. Kym was absolutely wonderful from the minute that we arrived. She even took the time to exchange greetings/introductions with my children which was a sweet touch! The food and teas were wonderful, and the selections plentiful. The tea room itself is cozy, and well appointed. I would definitely recommend A Southern Cup (and Kym) to anyone.

I just spent the afternoon enjoying the most amazing tea, scones, cucumber sandwiches, etc. to celebrate a friend's birthday. I can't wait to go back.

best treats and tea ever i highly recomand

Amazing place with amazing tea! The owner is extremely hospitable and has a nack for recommending the right loose leaf for each customer's particular tastes. If I did not have family in the area that were willing to mule it up 8 hours away, thanks mom, i would be taking advantage of her convenient shipping option. Personal recommendation on the lavender earl grey, cream cycle, ms. Camille's sin, cafe latte, tropical rainforest and pretty much everything else the owner has in stock!

Beautiful little place and amazing teas. Owner is a very special lady.

We had a wonderful day celebrating my daughters birthday. Thank you so much for making the day special for her

Had an absolutely delightful afternoon tea (Ms. Camelias). Including best scones ever.

An amazing jewel in the woods of North Carolina. Kim knows her tea and how to present a proper one with a great sense of humor. I will be back frequently.

A absolutely lovely tea shoppe and tea room. The buttermilk scones and clotted cream is heavenly! Kim Brown is an delightful tea hostess had so many laughs today, so fun. I am already planning my next tea party with Kym at a Southern Cup. A must do when in Hendersonville, NC!

A true delight in the woods of North Carolina. This is the perfect place to get a small snack, or high tea and catch up with your girlfreinds. I adore the place.

A friend of mine and I met at A Southern Cup to work on planning a fundraising tea & fashion show and everything was wonderful. The tea and scones were scrumptious and Kym was such a gracious hostess. She told amazing stories and instantly felt like a long-time friend. She has some delicious teas, some of which made a much-appreciated Mother's Day gift. Now a group of my friends and I are planning to gather there for afternoon tea. Definitely a place we will frequent from now on. Thank you, Kym.

My sister and aunts celebrated being together at A Southern Cup recently and Kym made our time there so very special! She lends a warm and graceful spirit to the entire experience. The teas are wonderful and the scones, sandwiches, and desserts were just amazing! We highly recommend this beautiful tea shop for its delicious teas and yummy food and the quaint and relaxing atmosphere!

I visited A Southern Cup for the Southern Belle tea this afternoon with a friend and was so pleased with everything - the teas, the food, the ambiance and the graciousness of our hostess, Kym. Her knowledge of teas was extensive but not in a stuffy way - I felt comfortable and at home in this little tea shop. I will return many times for sure. Norma T., Hendersonville

Back in July, we had a wonderful afternoon tea to celebrate my 40th birthday and my good friend's 50th birthday. Thank you so much!

We had a lovely tea here for Valentine's Day! The scones and sandwiches and desserts were all delicious and the owner was knowledgeable and gracious.

The atmosphere was quaint & charming.. We had the cranberry scones which were delicately delicious...

I attended a Formal Ladies Tea Party and must say that I enjoyed myself. The Teas are delicious and the Scones are to die for....Will invite some friends and hold my own tea party.

Great time for our group. We loved all the teas and loved sampling maple bunt cake tea

Just had a very lovely and FUN tea with some old friends and new friends at Kym's tea room. She is a great hostess and we had a fabulous time. A must stop in the lovely town of Hendersonville.
She had some really great teas and gifts as well as a delightful afternoon tea.
Thank you Kim.

Just had my little girls Princess Birthday Tea Party and it was great! We had to do Nothing! Thank you so much, my daughter said this was her best birthday ever & wants to do this again next year. I would recommend this place for everyone!!

My daughter and I stopped in two weeks ago! We had tea and scones with fresh butter and Jam! It was delicious and the owner was so kind and gracious- just like having tea at a friends house. There is also a wonderful selection of teas and honey for sale! Thank you Kym! I will be bringing my mother by soon to have the full afternoon tea!

We stopped at a Southern Cup for an afternoon snack and were pleased to find a cozy shop with a small tea room in a circa 1900 former village grocery store. The owner/hostess is very friendly, customer-focused, and knowledgable. We had a pot of English Breakfast tea, orange-cranberry and vanilla-bean scones, clotted cream, and strawberry jam. The shop has a wide assortment of teas and tea-brewing supplies. It's set back from the road, so watch for the sign.

A friend invited me to tea yesterday and it was an enchanting experience! The shop is delightful, the owner attentive and friendly. Our lunch of three types of tiny sandwiches and four desserts was both beautiful and delicious—and plentiful. The scones with clotted cream and strawberry jelly make my mouth water just thinking about them! And of course the tea with all the details was wonderful. Treat yourself to an exceptional experience!

Had the opportunity to attend a baby shower at A Southern Cup this weekend. So glad to have this gem just down the street. Kym was a fantastic host and the treats were all absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back and experience a formal tea. It's just so nice to know there's a quiet, peaceful little corner in our world to sit down, slow down, and enjoy a few minutes.

We celebrated our Scottish neighbor's birthday today at A Southern Cup. It was wonderful! The tea was delicious and the scones, served with jam and clotted cream, were warm and scrumptious. Kym offered lots of interesting tea facts while she was serving us and was so attentive to our every need. Duffy was in attendance as well, and kept us all entertained. We will be back to this lovely little tea house as often as we can. Thanks, Kym!

Kym Brown, owner of A Southern Cup Fine Teas assisted me in hosting an Afternoon Tea at my home. I could not have been more pleased. She is wonderful! I spent the afternoon enjoying my guests as she took care of everything. She paid attention to the smallest details before, during, and after the event. I highly recommend Kym and A Southern Cup Fine Teas.
